Counsel Gurbachan Singh, who is representing the family, told the Court of Appeals that the High Court, which has already sided with the Coroner's Court, did not call a material witness before calling Th'ng's death an accidental sexual suicide. They say that had the woman who discovered the man spoke, the court would have understood Th'ng's death was a murder. And we get it. It really is a shock, even if you're kinky, to hear that a friend of yours (or family member, as the case may be) managed to accidentally off himself while he was polishing the knob.

We understand the taboos surrounding kinky sex. We get that tying something around your neck to get off is not exactly something you talk about at most parties. But we're willing to bet there are tons of people who will talk to you about it, and even be in the room when you do it. Why? Rule 34: If you can imagine it, there is a porn of it. That's where the rule ends, but logic would dictate that if there's a porn of it, there are people who will buy the porn. If there are people who will buy it, there's probably an Internet forum or chatroom somewhere discussing the porn. So get to know your fellow autoerotic asphyxiation fetishists and choke yourselves together … at different times, so you won't both unnecessarily die.
